GOOD MORNING, MOUNT BROMO! 🙋‍♀️
Today was a day I will probably never forget in my life... we went up at 1.30am, jumping on our scooter for a ride of more than 2.5 hours. In the dark. On bumpy, steep roads. Only the two of us. It got colder and colder, the higher the altitude was. I was scared - it was freezingly cold, dark and we were somewhere nowhere. The chances pretty high for a sudden heavy rainfsll, since it was rainy season...
.
What the hell are we doing? Why aren't we just simply joining a Jeep tour, like all the other tourists going to Mt Bromo? Why do we (especially my boyfriend @luki_wuki) always need this kind of extra kick? 😟
But - the bright, still almost full moon and the many stars were guiding us. Protecting us.
We arrived at the sunrise viewpoint on time - a new day was just about to begin. What a breathtaking view! Indonesia at its best! Mother nature at its best!
.
We continued to drive down the so called sea of sands. I guess, we were the only foreign tourists on a scooter there today. Together with hundreds of jeeps. But we were independent. Free. And I slowly started to even enjoy the ride 😊
.
Standing at the crater of Mount Bromo, watching the smoke coming out, taking in this unbelieveably surreal surrounding made me realized again: these are the moments you live for 💕
Knowing again: you need to step out of your comfort zone in order to experience the extraordinary!
.
A day to remember. A morning that will last forever in our memory. Another privilege of travelling. Made it to another place on our bucket list.

I shoot all of the photos for @jackthesailingdog. 80% of those are shot with my iPhone, which is a 6s. You need knowledge more than the latest smart phone to get great photos. I also use Adobe Lightroom to process my photos. You can download and use it for free. You only need to pay if you want more advanced features, which I never use.
